Paeds usually advise that egg whites be introduced only after 1years old due to the protein which can cause an allergic reaction. Egg yolks usually ok after 6 months.

I personally gave my son both egg white & yolk after 1 year. He is allergic to egg white till today.

Thx hpling for ur valuable info.. really appreciate that. I've not much knowledge abt what food is suitable for children.. so worry that i can't be a good mother.. i've bought some books to know more abt important nutrition for kids. came across this page when searching nutrition info through Internet www.brainseries.com i think the info should be useful for mummy. Read some good articles from sin chew newspaper past few day also, really useful

I have once gave my son eat egg york while he was 8months old.
Not really encourage for baby to eat as might cause them tummy upset.
So, i changed till he was like..14 months old, by giving york n egg white..
unfortunately...my boy also allergy to egg white till now. He's 3 now.

All i can help him with protein consume is to drink some brand of supplement protein drinks.

So far so good...nothing happen at the moment and healthy.
